Court Calls For Original Footage

Nov 24, 2010 9:50:13 PM - thesundayleader.lk

The Colombo High Court had ordered Derana TV to produce the original footage of the speech made by former Army Commander and DNA Leader Sarath Fonseka during his Presidential election campaign at a rally in Ratnapura.

The relevant video footage is to be used in the controversial “white flag” case that was taken up for hearing yesterday (24).

When the prosecution had produced several videos containing speeches made by Fonseka that were telecast on TV, one of the videos had been taken for observation.

The defence counsel however had objected to the producing of part of the complete footage and had asked for the original footage with the complete speech be presented to court.
